Answer 1

Answer:

Two other algebraic expressions based on this situation are:

$J = m-2$

$B = \frac{m}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent Meg's age.

Jill is 2 years younger than Meg.

Let J represents Jill's age

Jill's age $J = m-2$

Beth is half as old as Meg

Let B represents Beth's age

Beth's age$B = \frac{m}{2}$

So,  two other algebraic expressions based on this situation are:

$J = m-2$

$B = \frac{m}{2}$
